Picture it & Write

I apologize on behalf of Ermisenda. I’m not sure why she hasn’t posted yet, so I’ll step in this week. Sorry that it’s late.

Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.

Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

What does it mean to be a ruler? Does she stand apart from her people and tell them to eat cake while they cry out for bread? Should a queen strive to be loved or feared? What is she is afraid herself? Don’t let them in. Don’t let them see. Present a mask of what you should be.

–Eliabeth Hawthorne

Side note: I wrote this right after I watched Frozen. If you haven’t seen it yet, GO SEE IT!!!

Oops, I didn’t notice I had missed the last word when I pasted. Should be: “…princess either.” You can fix that if you like.

I haven’t seen Frozen yet so I don’t know about the context. It’s interesting what you’re saying though. Power is nothing more than a mask anyway, right? The moment you put it on, you become destined for weakness and submission. Maybe that’s just HoC speaking.
